Plot: The power of words and images to open hearts. Helen runs, miles a day, to burn off energy: she's an emotional celibate. Going through the post at her shop, she finds a romantic and poetic letter betwe...( read more read more... )en the couch cushions, unsigned, and thinks it's for her. It melts her resistance to feelings, and soon she undertakes an affair with Johnny, a collegiate employee. (He sees the letter and thinks she wrote it to him; he quotes some of it, so she thinks he wrote it to her.) In the background are Helen's long-time friend, George, who loves her, and her mother who abruptly left on a long trip months' before. Discovering who actually wrote the letter brings insight and promise.

    Tom Selleck and Ellen DeGeneres was both two wonderful people, and they were just great.
    They could have made this story better, but it had nice surroundings and atmosphere and great actors, in was just the story they could've changed, improved a bit .
    Kate Capshaw and Tom Everett Scott was also great. So were all others in this movie.

    Half a star it did not deserve. That rating is reserved for things likeEpic Movie.

    Still, it has no real plot. The characters are wooden and the acting is just average, despite the promising cast.

    So boring you won't notice time go by. And if you did you'd wish it would go faster. So if you like it, great for you. I dunno how.

    I watched this mostly for the scenery! It was filmed in Rockport, Massachusetts on Cape Ann - and I've been there several times - it's a special place and I have someone special who lives there. The movie itself was only fair though I did enjoy Ellen Degeneres.

    Skitch Patterson as the love interest, what more could a girl want? Well, a plot that makes sense before the last 5 minutes of the movie would be nice.

    dreamworks made this movie. and steven spielberg made that company. kate capshaw is in this movie and shes married to spielberg. so he kinda had a ot to do with the movie even though hes not actually in it. it was kinda like et but really boring. a lot of people thought this was boring. itll make you fall asleep.

    Although I missed the start, I'm sort of glad I did. The characters were a bit... meh. Especially Kate Capshaw. Who the heck would want to screw her!?
    Ellen DeGeneres was wonderful but too brief, and the end really annoyed me because it was sooo obvious. Lesbians? No dur. The moment Kate Capshaw's mother told her that, I knew the mysterious old woman in town was her lover.
    Everett-Scott supplied much-needed distraction, though.

    Charming little film about a small town in its inhabitants who all want someone they won't speak for. Very cute.
